Apathy 03:08
Time filled with apathy When will I be happy Don't have anyone Just wanna have some fun But I wake anyway Try to look like I'm okay Just make it through the day Just make it through the day Time filled with apathy When will I be ready Can’t see what I’ve got And I don’t know what I want But I try anyway To find the will to stay And face another day And face another day

Happy 03:03
I’m so happy I’m so happy But I know that it won’t last It comes but it goes so fast I’ll enjoy it while I can It’ll leave but it comes back again But it comes back again And it comes back again And it comes back again But it comes back again I’m so happy I’m so happy And I want this feeling to stay But I know that it goes away And you have to feel the pain So you know when you’re happy again When you’re happy again You have to feel the pain When you’re happy again So you know when you're happy again When you’re happy again When you’re happy again You have to feel the pain So you know when you're happy again

Listen to the sound of blue As it takes over you There’s nothing you should do When you're lost in blue Listen to the sound of blue As it runs through you There's nothing you should do When you're lost in blue Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Follow you Listen to the sound of blue Let it get the best of you You know you want to When you're lost in blue Listen to the sound of blue Let it all out of you Do what you have to do When you're lost in blue Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Follow you Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Let it wash on over you Don't try to run it will follow you Follow you

Thinking about leaving here forever Thinking about leaving here for good But I keep holding on for something Hoping that it could get better than this What's one more night What's one more night What's one more night Before I go Thinking about throwing it all away Thinking about ending it for good But I keep hoping that theres something Something that will put my mind to rest What's one more night What's one more night What's one more night Before I go What's one more night What's one more night What's one more night Before I go What's one more night…

Wiser 02:59
I’m here watching the time go by Trying to see the things that go right Instead of all the things that go wrong I’m too hard on myself and not hard enough on anybody else But I am starting to change my old ways Get a little bit kinder And a little bit stronger Live it a little bit better Everyday Get a little bit wiser And a little bit brighter Feel a little bit better Everyday Get a little bit wiser

Time 05:06
Time, time, time Time, time, time Passing me by, by, by With every day it all slips away With every day it all slips away With every day it all slips away Time, time, time Why, why, why I want to know why, why, why But know one knows why, why, why It all slips away It all slips away...

Inside 03:55
Searching in the night For glimpses of sunlight You won’t find what you’re looking for Until you’re ready to explore Inside Inside Inside Inside The answer isn’t out there It’s inside inside Always reaching out To fill the void within You won’t find you’re looking for Until you’re ready to explore Inside Inside Inside Inside The answer isn’t out there It’s inside inside The answer isn’t out there It’s inside inside inside…

When I look into the sky I see A river of infinity When I look into the sky I see A river of infinity When I look into the sky I see A river of infinity When I look into the sky I see A river of divinity Rushing toward me I’m swimming upstream is it all a dream River of infinity Isn’t it nice isn’t it nice river of infinity isn’t it nice in paradise river of infinity River of divinity River of divinity Rushing toward me Isn’t it nice River of infinity in paradise River of infinity River of infinity I want to find peace of mind Make my own paradise See through new and clear view eyes One day I’ll be realized Isn’t it nice Isn’t it nice Isn’t it nice in paradise Isn’t it nice Isn’t it nice Isn’t it nice in paradise

about

From the grey-skied isles and forested horse farms of British Columbia comes the second volume of Crystal Dorval aka White Poppy’s “Paradise Gardens” trilogy: Sound Of Blue. Originally conceived back in 2016, the album was then recorded, finessed, abandoned, resurrected, overdubbed, and finally mixed into nine refinements of daydream shoegaze and therapeutic pop, born from bedroom epiphanies and long winters of the heart.

From slowdive reverie (“Apathy,” “Melancholic Serenity”) and color wheel psychedelia (“Time”) to spiral chorale (“Happy”) and finger-picked drift (“Wiser”), Dorval’s songcraft moves between escape and acceptance, tracing delicate melodies from undercurrents of loss, light, and solitude. It’s music for memory gardens and pastel horizons, dreaming of bliss and distance, but bound to the here and now: “Thinking about leaving here forever / thinking about leaving here for good / but I keep holding on for something / hoping that it could get better than this / what’s one more night?”
